Trans and Disabled is a collection of stories from various different trans and disabled artists. These stories depict different experiences that trans and disabled people face, it reflects how intersectional their lives are.
The cover sets us up for a wonderful time, which is met. This is a wonderful, incredible, amazing read.
The pacing of all the pieces were amazing, it did not feel to slow or rushed, it gave us enough time to emerge into every piece. The format is really creative.
I really enjoyed this use of different forms of art to expresses themselves, with poetry, non-fiction (memoires), plays and art. The use of different ways to understand the different experiences, with research-based stories, maths and more.
I learnt about different movement and terms I had yet to come across, such as saneism and neuroqueer feminist theory. I enjoyed reading about plurality, the ordinary, being enough and love.
I would recommend this to everyone, it is so powerful. I wish there was more, more art, more poetry, more plays, more stories more everything. I would read this again any day.
